  Solving the Problem of a Generation that never ends ...

  by fulltimestudent in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  luke 21 is a difficult text to interpret.

  and jesus' failed prediction that the end would occur in the lifetime of those who heard him speak, makes the whole thing border on farce.. recall what he said:.

  30 when they sprout leaves, you can see for yourselves and know that summer is near.. 31 even so, when you see these things happening, you know that the kingdom of god is near.. 32 truly i tell you, this generation will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened.. 33 heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.. .

  It was appropriately friendly and welcoming. You missed the welcome the same character afforded me.

  Awake 1973 banned Witnesses playing Chess..why?

  by Witness 007 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  are all articles from jehovahs thoughts or do personal biased views poison the watchtower articles?

  imagine a brother who hates chess observing in discust two bethelites playing chess...would it be right to use jehovahs "spiritual food" to push your own warped view....yes!!.

  awake 1973 3/22 p.12 chess- "...the spirit of compitition between players can lead to unplesant circumstances...most families can keep comfrontations to the chess board...but for some the tension lingers long past checkmate...chess has been a game of war since its origin...a play substitute for the art of war...there is a danger of "stirring up compitition with one another" even developing hostility towards one another, something the bible warns christians to avoid..what effect does playing chess have apoun one?

  Typical hypocrisy from the Dirty Old Whore to attack chess because of its alleged associations with war (more like, it's providing an alternative to war) while Theocratic War Strategy (a euphemism for lying) was mooted and encouraged by her!

  Goodbye, Farkel.

  "I understood." One last WHACK! from me, then, for the road.

  For others - Doug survived his father by less than 13 years:

  Life is fleeting. Make good use of it. Live every day as if it were your last.

  one reason for the dumbing down of the org

  by Magnum in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  a lot of us have said that theres been a dumbing down in jw land.

  its just not like it used to be especially a few decades ago.

  it seems to me that if jw are right and the end of the world is near, the spiritual food should get tastier and more nourishing as time goes on, but it's getting more and more bland and less nourishing.

  The real reason for the dumbing-down of the borg is:

  An obviously stupid, "for-stupids-only" organization will deter the intelligent from joining.

  To deter them is increasingly seen as a "good thing".

  Why?

  The more intelligent one is, the more liable one is to quickly see through the sham and crash out, perhaps taking some others with you.

  Better therefore to prevent the intelligent from signing up and plunging into the Baptismal Sewer.

  Well, you could do it with an IQ test where only those scoring, say, 90 or below are admitted. But that might be a bit too OBVES, and could backfire spectacularly if it could be proven.

  So they've accomplished it by increasingly making the cult almost (camels and needle's eye notwithstanding) impossible for the intelligent to get sucked into.

  D2D publishers are told to back off immediately if the householder shows intelligence ("a haughty or arrogant or opinionated attitude"). That's partly to prevent the publisher being rescued (aka "faith weakened") and partly so as to reject those possessed of a minimum of intelligence.

  The Old Whore is NOT stupid.

  Do not underestimate her.

  Bible's mention of physical beauty- why?

  by Magnum in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  for years, as i've read through the bible, i've wondered why bible writers were concerned about physical beauty (see references below)?

  i realize it's human nature to be interested in beauty, but why did they see fit to record in the so-called "word of god" the fact that some of the people they wrote about were beautiful?

  looks are not supposed to matter according to jw doctrine (and probably the doctrine of many christian-professing sects).

  Bible's mention of physical beauty- why

  Why??

  Obvious - because it was writtern by lecherous perverts.

  Or WTF did you think the resurrection of the flesh referred to?

  More irrelevant, stupid, mind numbingly boring, governing-body-worshipping,

  absolute drivel, gee, to think, the "anointed" created 9 subjects of absolutely false

  doctrines and non-Biblically based self aggrandizing teachings leading to one

  conclusion, the "organization" has the only "truth" and the you must obey the

  Governing Body or be destroyed. Are you people serious here ??? Get a hobby

  or something.

  villagegirl, thanks for removing any doubts as to what you are. This is islandwoman reincarnated, but even stupider this time around.

  Jw's dont really care about doctrine do they?

  by marriedtoajw in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  it seems to me that jw's really don't care about doctrine.

  ephesians chapter 4 verse 11 "and he gave some as apostles others as prophets, others as evangelists, others as pastors and teachers to equip the holy ones for the work of ministry for the building up of the body of christ until we attain the unity of faith and knowledge of the son of god to mature manhood to the extent of the full stature of christ so that we may no longer be in infants tost by waves and swept along by every wind of teaching arising from human trickery from their cunning in the interest of deceitful scheming".

  is it just me or does this verse totally annihilate the doctrine or belief in new light.

  JW.org says that the Bible knew that the earth was suspended in empty space

  by opusdei1972 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  "the earth is suspended in empty space.

  (job 26:7) many ancient peoples believed that the world was a flat disk supported by a giant or an animal, such as a buffalo or a turtle.".

  The Babble is no more and no less accurate (i.e., it is wholly inaccurate) than most of its contemporaneous religious fraudworks.

  That jw.org attempts to paint it otherwise is consistent with the other thousands of lies that underpin this dangerous and damaging cult.

  By contrast, Hinduism demonstrated a far better appreciation of sizes and timescales (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalpa_(time_unit) ) if not of structure, and much earlier on at that.

  Face the facts, those barbarous stone age shepherds simply weren't very bright at all. The science of the Babylonians and Mesopotamians was far in advance of that of the idiot Babble-authors and fraudsters.

  Finkelstein, yes, wisdom from the mouth of babes.

  One thing only - "Fear" is too mild a word - "Terror" is more accurate.

  Who knows, with their images of enormous skyscrapers toppling down dotted all over WT litteritchah, that Satan's Whoreganization didn't plant the seeds of the 9/11 attack idea in some misguided mind?

  Seriously, though, to me, the parallels between Jehoober-bin-Watchtower and Osama-bin-Laden are striking.

  Of the two, Osama was clearly morally somewhat less repugnant, and was a murderer on a much more modest scale.

  Indeed, the message is much the same - DO AS I COMMAND, OR ELSE.

  That is the "Good News" passed on to the householder - Now you've had the chance to accept God's message, if you fail to become an unpaid magazine-vendor for a group of depraved Spiritual Pedophiles, our bareback leader (Jeebus-bin-Bethel) will swoop down with a sword coming out of his mouth and slaughter you and your minor children.

  Of course, the Liars try to disguise it, but that is the essence of the Water-of-Life message they give door-to-door.

  Filthy sc*m.
